American

Boston, Oct. 22.-The American Ship
ping Industrial League held its second
days session this morning. WIN. H.
Webb, of New York, was the first
speaker. He referred to the former
prosperity of American shipping under
government protection and assistance and
its decline when that assistance was with
drawn. To-day, he said, of our naval
seamen 10 per cent are foreigners and if a
war should break out we would have to
buy foreign ships and man them with
foreign men. Protection made it possible
to build ships in this country and the gov
ernmen should make it possible to build
up the industry again. With the material
at hand there was no reason why we
should not command the chief part of the
carrying trade OF the world. He thought
it possible we should have to go through
a great thrashing before the country
would awake to the necessity of the hour.
W. H. Lincoln referred to the former
prosperity of New England shipping and
advocated government aid. He believed
that unless something vigorous was done
our shipping would be practically extinct
in five years. There had not been a ship
built in Massachusetts for six years.
Various committees we're appointed to
attend other shipping conventions in vari-
Gus parts OF the country, and a committee
was appointed to visit President Cleveland
and obtain his cooperation in the owe
ment. After other addresses in the same
vein the convention adjourned.

Edgerton's Interpretation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Civil Service
Commissioner Edgerton in an interview
with an Associated Press reporter, said
that tie government employees unques-
tionably have the right to associate them
selves together for the purpose of advanc-
ing the interests of any political party.
and also to assess members and receive
contributions for political purposes. In
reference to Oberly s recent order that
anyone actively engaged in political work
shall not be eligible for appointment on
the boards of the civil service examiners,
Edgerton said that the order is not justi-
fed by law or any order issued by the
president-it involves political inquiry by
the commission, a right denied it by law.
He concluded: Il thoroughly believe in
an honest Interpretation of the civil ser
vice law. l believe in enforcing that law
in the manner congress intended to have
it enforced, but l do not believe in strain
ing after something, nobody knows what,
for political or personal effect, and I be-
lieve that the president and three-fourths
Of the Democratic party will sustain my
position,

outrage last spring and were sentenced to
be shot by judgment of a special court
martial, have been confined in Jail since

of punishment, which was strongly in

ment was deemed too severe and lengthy

ter. The two officers are Col. Francisco
